We hope all of our Knights have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving break. We are grateful for all of our students, faculty, and families and look forward to having everyone back on campus on Monday 12/02.
We want to recognize ELA teacher, Ms. Caserta, her students, our Team Up program staff members, and the Team Up students who initiated and participated in a successful food drive for Thanksgiving. More than 300 cans of food were collected and they put together 10 baskets of Thanksgiving food for families in our school community! A special shout out goes to Ms. Caserta’s Period 3 class who alone collected more than 100 cans of food. Thank you all for demonstrating what it means to be a Knight. You matter and you are making a difference!
